The Production Of Gold ana Silver
In the United States for 1896.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Thc acting
secretary Of the treasury to-day sent te
the speaker Of the house communications
from the director Of the mint, the comp
troller Of the currency and the assay
commission, urging amendment OF the
laws governing the annual assays OF
coins, 10 Is to provide for holding q
future meeting Of the commission at
Washington, the selection at random. BY
IN officer Of the mint bureau Of the coins
70 BE- tested, and the payment Of per
diem compensation to members Of the
commission. The existing Law is said to
fail to furnish sufficient evidence Of the
qualities Of coins, for the reason that it
allows selections to be made BY mint
officer.
The report Of the director Of the mint,
containing statistics Of the production Of
precious metals in uss for the year 1886
was transmitted to congress to day.
From the report it appears that the pro-
duction ofgold during 1886 exceeds that
Of any previous year since, 1880, and
that it almost equaled tho production Of
that year. This amounted to $35, 000,-
600 in 1886 against $31, 100000 in
1885. The production Of silver, AZ
nearly q can Be ssccrtained, was $45,.
096, $50. The amount Of gold bullion
imported into the United States was
1l7,947,6ls, and exported $27 1862 ,637.
Importations were made almost exclusive
y aincs August last. There was also
imported gold coin to the value Of $23,.
361 1853, and gold coin was expended
TO the value OF S13, 393, 1868. Total
exported, gold coin and bullion, was
al ,281 ,676, which corresponds almost
exactly with the amount imported into
the United States, 90 there has been

A Railroad Superstition.

will surely result. Christmas dsy the

cidant was caused by a broken axle on

about leaving Atlanta, a corpse was
placed on the baggage car. to be taken
to Forest. At that station the corpse
was renewed from the car head:oremost.
notwithstanding the porter, Jack Bur-
CESS, vigorously protested. He told
Baggagemaster John Eny that an acct
dent would surely occur before the train
reached Macon. Sure enough one did
occur. AS the baggage car bounced up
and down on the track when the axle
broke, Jack shouted out: "What | tell

The author of ~Under the Punkah"
tells an amusing incident of his life in In
dia. He had given to tame monkey a
lump Of sugar inside a corked bottle. The
monkey was of an inquiring kind, and
the effort to get at the mystery-and the
sugar-nearly killed him.
Sometimes, in an impulse of disgust,
he would throw the bottle away, out of
his reach, and then be distracted until it
was given back to him.
At other times lie would sit with a
countenance of the most intense deiec-
ton, contemplating the bottled sugar, and
then, as if pulling himself together for
another effort at solution, would sternly
take up the problem afresh and gaze into
the bottle, He would tilt it up one way
and try to drink the sugar through the
cork, and tEen, suddenly reversing it,
try to catch tae sugar as it fell out at ttiiie
bottom.
Under the impression that he could
catch it by surprise, he kept rapping his
teeth against the glass in futile bites, and,
warming to the pursuit Of the revolving
lump, used to tie himself into regular
knots round the bottle, Fits of the most
ludicrous melancholy would alternate
with these spasms of furious speculation,
and how the matter would have ended it
is impossible to say.
But the monkey got loose one night
and took the bottle with him; and it has
always been a delight to me to think that
whole forestfuls of monkeys have by this
time puzzled themselves into fits over the
great problem of bottled sugar. ar.-Youth' $

Horace GreeIey,s Only Sister.

Mrs. Esther Greeley Cleveland, the
only sister of Horace Greeley Of beloved
memory, has been spending the winter
at the Coleman house, where she has
lived for several years. Mrs. Cleveland,
writes M. s. in The Graphic, is emf
nently a woman ''whom age cannot
wither, nor custom stale her infinite
variety" Despite much grief and sor-
row and no slight physical burdens, her
head and heart are as bright, as sweet
and as sunny as one could desire. There
is a nameless, indescribable charm about
her that wins and holds young people to
her, and those whom the young love,
you know, remain always young. Mrs.
Clevelands intimates like to call her
1.-The Queen, but hers is a rule of love
only. And she looks every inch a queen
an ideal queen, not the queen we have
lust bid farewell to, nor the great jubilee
queen. She has the most beautiful COM
plexion you ever saw, fine and white and
soft as baby's. Her hair is delicately
gray and rolled softly back from broad,
smooth brow below which her dark eyes
beam brightly at you. Mrs. Cleveland
wears the most enchanting house gowns
you can imagine, and the daintiest, most
becoming little contrivances of lace on
her head. They give an air of softness
to the face that Is delightful, and you
may have remarked that a pretty cap
makes pretty face prettier still. With
Mrs. Cleveland lives her daughter Ce-
ella, a slight, fragile girl, bright, clever
and appreciative, devoted to hes mother
with an affection that is as touching as it
is beautiful. She is now sole daughter
of the house and heart of her mother;
another daughter, beautiful, gifted girl,

bars the empress suddenly appeared at
the door of the room. She gave pierre

fell senseless on the floor. This is the
